Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Thurs 8.21.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/21/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 1 |
| Race overview | A seemingly modest NYB N1X for fm3up at 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here on paper, at least in terms of true sprint speed, so expect a tight group early. |
| Trends | Rains left the main track sloppy Wednesday, so check the charts for the first two days of the racing week to see how the track played. |
| Best Play | #6 ACCELERATED NEWS (5-2): Stalker got to the main track for the first time and aired by 12 over MSW foes here in what was her first start for Giddings as well, and while facing winners is never easy, she looks on a rise, and sure doesn’t meet much. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 294-89-58-47 ($2.09/$5.80 ROI through 8/3)
Sar POD: 26-6-6-1 ($1.21/$3.79)
